Is there a site that will give me free form that do the following?:
Allow people who use the forms to (based on their results), get a set of suggested results. IE. They do the form for what they like to eat, and then based on those results they get suggested results on good meals for them. OR If there isn't a site that does that, is there a way I could do that, or code it, and by me, I mean you guys help me to the extent of doing it yourselves. lol jk

I dont know of a site that would make you something like that for free. It sounds like you would need to use a dynamic web language such as asp or php (many others too). Most likely you would need some sort of database backend like MSSQL or MySQL to do comparisons and pull results.

Basically, you need to use a front-end language like asp.net or php that will be able to communicate to a database, and use logic to make decisions about what to display.
For example - if you have a user select 'chicken' froma drop down menu, the site would then have that information to decide what to display. In your database you might have something like this: recipe ............. meat buffalo wings ... chicken hamburger ....... beef fritters ........... pork nuggets .......... chicken so, if the user picked 'chicken' the dynamic language such as php would then look into the database and use logic to decide what to show: if (meat == chicken) display the recipe so the two recipes that would be shown would be nuggets and wings. This would work for everything, if the user chose tofu, then there would be no meats that matched it, so it would display nothing. This is a very basic example, but the elements are all there. If you want the basics for databases and dynamic languages, try looking here: http://www.w3schools.com
